That we set naught by the authority of the Ancient Fathers and Councils of old time: that we have rashly and presumptuously disannulled the old Ceremonies, which have been well allowed by our fathers and forefathers many hundred years past, both by good customs, and also in ages of more purity: and that we have by our own private head without the authority of any Sacred & General Council brought New Traditions into the Church: & have done all these things not for Religions sake, but only upon a desire of contention and strife. But that they for their part have changed no manner of thing, but have held & kept still such a number of years to this very day all things, as they were delivered from the Apostles, and well approved by the most Ancient Fathers.
